A good word is as a good tree, whose roots are firm and its branches reach to the sky… It yields its fruits at all times by the permission of its Lord. God thus sets forth similitudes for mankind, that they may be mindful. But the likeness of an evil word is that of an evil tree, uprooted, having no stability. God makes the believers steadfast with the Mighty Word in this life and the Hereafter; but God allows wrongdoers to stray. God does what He wills. - The Holy Qur'an

It looks to be Nice.

Well, inshaAllah, I'm planning to go to Nice in February for a French A-Level trip... and I received my letter of confirmation from the French school we'll be studying at for a week yesterday.Would I have avoided the pun in the title? Hah.I found out one of us (either me or my friend Sophia) would have to call our (as I see her) foster-mère. I ended up doing it. This followed: (Sorry about the lack of capital letters and proper punctuation - it was a flighty email to my roomie)(And sorry about the... well... French. Babelfish should do the job.)aie aie aie!

after the details and stuff..."...tu parles bien en francais, saira" ...i was like yeah, right...

and then at the ENDshe said a bientotthen so did ithen she stayed on, and she was like... "je te chercherai, n'inquiete pas" or somethingi was like "-ok-" (i thought i'd already said bye.)"au revoir""au revoir" how many times am i going to say bye?then i hung up.

she was nice though. she must be like "poor english girls..."And I think I told her my phone number wrong.Ah well... I'll console myself with the thought that my place will be about 2 minutes' walk from the beach. Oh yeah!Okay, it will be February. But, la beauté, la beauté!
